Old 20/25l drums have loads of uses, I use them for diesel, used engine oil, water for knapsack spraying, ballast weights etc Cut the sides open, thread 2 bits of rope through, and they make good strong trugs for carrying logs, tools etc. Oil drain pan Water trough for animals (I have one in with the hens) Parts & tool tray for when you're working under vehicles The plastic (hdpe) they're made from is very durable, frost proof, can be thrown about, kicked, dropped

It's funny you should mention signature, there is/was a way of getting out of speeding tickets in Scotland by sending the form with the drivers details back unsigned, and then not answering the door for a few months.

TAX Return - Where are you In Off The Red?

Does it say anything about cats on duty keeping the mice away from air filters, rubber hoses on machinery etc -
Can anyone please help me make this woodburner usable?

Spend the 5k on solar panels and get a chiminea for the patio -
Unless you mounted it at the top of a tower, would be no good for working infront of, it will blind you and create big shadows. Maybe buy a 2nd hand lighting tower? Look a lot of good ones on ebay for a grand, probably little deprecation in them if you needed to sell it on in a years time

I've had a muck truck max for about 5/6 years This video had me sold, you can see it's a well thought out rugged machine:
-
The muck truck (max) is a good solid bit of kit, adding a hydraulic tip to it seems a bit unnecessary, more weight and expense. You could even use it to tow your arb trolley out (slowly, in reverse)

Big logs for a big stove, cutting them to lengths of about 450mm, the biggest the splitter will take, mix of spruce, pine, birch, hemlock

A load can be strapped down but still an insecure load, here's a good example

I didn't know Dyson had made a chipper, was it bagless?
-
That is some skill!! You'd think it would be easier without the gloves though? The recommended video that came up after that was this, skip towards the end, that is some hedgecutter, looks like it has a cut of about 2m

Thanks everyone Never did update this thread, got the above erbauer 15kg breaker. When I looked it up, the dewalt with anti vibe handles was £700+, which is a bit much for the amount of use it would currently get with me. The erbauer is ok, defiantly a help on post holes. The downside is the obvious one, the length of the chisel, and that you can't buy longer. Maybe at somepoint I'll see if I can weld 2 together

The Balfor one is good, well made, plenty of steel in it. They have changed the models about now, and the newer ones have more guards Logging Saw Benches – Balfor WWW.BALFOR-FIREWOOD.COM

Don't know the machine, but from the manual: "If the engine or the battery are out of order, the grass-catcher can be opened manually: insert the key and sit on the driver's seat. In this way the hydraulic valve is relieved. Push the button to open the grasscatcher (fig, 5, n. 13) and open the grass-catcher manually. The battery is located under the grasscatcher in the rear part of the machine (fig. 33, A). If it is out of order, the battery can be removed and recharged." http://www.grilloagrigarden.co.uk/operators_manual/fd450

We use a bit of smokeless in the stove overnight, it makes a huge difference to the temperature of the house, and is a hell of a lot cheaper than electricity.

It won't offer you much of a tax bonus, but for more local journeys have a look at electric bicycles. With the speed possible, it might not be much slower than driving

I've only ever seen them in photos, I can't imagine they're anywhere as strong as a shipping container? And won't have the same resale value? Have you got the space to get a lorry round into the garden? If so, get a normal get container on a hiab?

Have never tried the Makita 4t, but the 35cc Honda 4t has been great for me, using 2.7mm square line or various metal blades. I would much rather use the Honda with a metal blade than a bigger 2 stroke.

The key thing about mud is, you have to know when you're past the point of no return, and you should call it quits!

Haven't got a sccobies, there's a whole fleet of hydrogen busses, council vehicles etc I was talking to someone the other week, he works off shore (abroad) and was saying they're developing deep-sea machines to mine battery materials from a few miles down on the seabed
-
I think the problem with electric cars is, there isn't enough raw materials on planet earth to make enough batteries. Aberdeen has 2 hydrogen filling stations
